It’s been a whirlwind of holiday parties here in Nashville and I’ve been happy to partake!
Teddy never recovered from last weekend’s events, therefore he was bound and determined to get me to stay home by laying on my blazer as I party primped Friday night.
And of course I was able to coax Ted off with a little help from my sparkling accessories with which he’s enamored.
Being in charge of my company’s party, I was on hand early to help set up.

The Great Room at Fontanel Mansion. One of about 40 rooms in Barbara Mandrell’s previous home.
Of course I took about 4,256 photos (which I will be sharing later!) but one of our party goers had a sparkle lens. YES I SAID A SPARKLE LENS!

My mom and I in all of our sparkle glory. I need a fancy camera just so I can obtain this fabulous lens.
Working at a production company, I’m surrounded by overloads of testosterone daily. Here’s a small dose of my workplace ‘brothers.’
And with an open bar, bruises like this are bound to be acquired. I think the purple, green and yellow bruising just add to all of my holiday fun (just makes Christmas shopping a little more painful).
Upon recovering from my Friday night shenanigans, I was off to a birthday party Saturday afternoon.
And then a date with my 30 ounce glass of merriment. A favorite holiday glass – not only because it holds almost an entire bottle of wine but it also has quite the clever take on a Christmas song.
All Teddy could do was cat nap on Sunday and I can’t say that I blame him.
Teddy looks how I still feel on Monday morning, sitting at work wishing it Friday at five.
Thank God the holidays only come once a year!

Where did you get your sparkly skull bracelet? I LOVE it!
Charming Charlie, I believe. Most of my skull accessories have been gifts (I’m pretty easy to shop for) but I’m sure I saw one of these bracelets there. Good luck!
I do love that sparkle lens!! But, dang, girl! You look like you busted up that ankle pretty good. Is it serious?
I don’t think it’s too serious but I think I’ll be checking with my doctor today, as I do want to wear heels again!!
Hope your ankle feels better soon! Very pretty pictures and meow to Ted! =^.^=
Meow back at ya! And, I am still in ankle recovery. No high heels for me this week!
Love the sparkly bracelets, but don’t love that bruise. Ouchy! Tis the price one must pay to be fabulous. At least you didn’t spill a drop! Talent indeed!
I’m still paying for my ‘talent’!
Sparkle on!
Oh my goodness!!! Your poor leg!
It’s the price of partying!
Love the sparkly skull bracelet!
Thanks – it’s one of my favorites. I am almost afraid to wear it for fear I’ll wear it out!
You should have trusted Ted. He clearly knew what was best for you and a cat on the lap is worth… uh… none on the dance floor… I guess.
Ted always knows best and when I don’t listen, I always pay a hefty price!
Great pictures! Love the wine glass!!
Thanks Alyson! The glass comes in handy when I don’t want to get off of my couch every 10 minutes!
Two thoughts come to mind: 1) Where can I get my hands on a sparkle lens ASAP?! and 2) Did you know that no matter how big the glass is…it’s still considered only one drink? This is helpful for many reasons, e.g., honestly answering the question “how much have you had to drink?”, counting calories, etc.
Um, this is exactly why I know we were probably best friends, if not sisters in a former life. 1) I will get you the info on a sparkle lens. Can you imagine owning it?!?! 2) I love the way you think. Exactly like me. Which is why I only had one glass of wine, instead of the whole bottle last night. Phew.
